Im swedish so my grammar and spelling might suck but imo its just pure stupidity to try and keep old grammar and spellings.
Languages are something that is alive. Trying to keep everything 'the way it used to be' is just STUPID.
dont you like phones? computers? EQ? microwaves? Those are new things just as many new efficient words and abbrivations.
Whats wrong with being efficient?
Somehow I highly doubt computer 'shorthand' would be accepted at my place of work, or in anything formal for that matter.
Changes in technology are completely different than changes in language. Apples and oranges. Besides, I don't think I would ever consider 'u' a 'new efficient word'.
I'm not saying language shouldn't change, but the way people are trying to change it is nonsensical. Using 'plz' instead of 'please'? Congratulations, you saved three keystrokes and 0.2 seconds of your life.
